River Herring Return to Rock Creek April 23, 2011

Tom Horton describes the annual Rock Creek migration of herring in Bay Country: "No finer parade, or one more unappreciated, ever swung through this capital than the quicksilver legions of Alosa pseudoharegus, the common river herring." On our four-hour walk, we hope to view the spawning run and discuss opportunities for restoring fish migration to Rock Creek. We will visit the fish ladder construction site at Pierce Mill. Meet at the Cleveland Park Metro Station and end at the Woodley Park/National Zoo/Adams Morgan Station. 14th annual walk! Free.
